This isn’t exactly my every day work desk, but I often work on the dinning room table when extra space is needed, except today…..it seems to be occupied!
On my really workdesk it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I am getting some goodies ready for a local Christmas art sale.
Earlier this year, I found 24 of these tin Christmas light reflectors at a flea market. So, with the help of a little alcohol ink they, now, look like this………..
I’ve collaged some pictures to the back of glass nuggets and added lace and papers to turn them into refrigerator magnets, tree ornament and/or even a brooch or two………..like this….
I’m just getting started……have a few more started but I’m a long way from finished!
I’m, also, going to a place I haven’t been in a while, Debra's Common Ground Vintage Inspiration Friday. I love this party, you will too……so much talent in one place…it is amazing!

Wow they look fabulous - I love little finds like that in a flea market - such fun. Have a great week.
Our little helpers do like to get in on the action, don’t they? You may have seen BoJangles on my desk last week, hogging the photo.
What a great find were the metal bits from the tree lights. You’ve done a fab job of altering them and I bet they well sell well at the art sale.
Happy Crafting!

Well now, your helper sure looks comfy:@)
they are fabulous and so creative - love them and Mr. Al Cat! Thanks for sharing today! Sarah at 5.
Great idea to use those reflectors like this - I love alcohol inks.
What an amazing transformation!!! These turned out so great! You are inspiring me to get up and move my bootie!!! I do sometimes find things that I can recycle like this, but I don't have a fine toothed eye, like you...I must get out there and really try harder!!!
what a great idea, to turn them into sparkly flowers toppers, thanks for my snoop!

Just what is it about cats? They have to be in the middle of everything you're doing! Very funny picture, and I really like those reflectors with the alcohol ink on them.

These are super cute. The cat's not too shabby, either! lol Blue hydrangea. Shoot, I can hardly do white ones.
Oh, your helper cat is so funny and cute. I can see he's a huge help, lol.
I love the reflectors now that you've worked your magic on them! And the glass jewel/globs, what a great idea, you are so creative.
I also thoroughly enjoyed your earlier post on your completed book, what a fascinating array of artistic talents all put together. Just lovely.
First thing first. That cat? So darn cute, honestly! I'm glad you shared that picture with us. Secondly....being the Christmas person I am I think what you did with those light relectors is so very creative and they turned out wonderful!!!! You get the Elf stamp of approval right there! If you wish...you can pick it up on my sidebar. The purpose of the stamp is to share the Chrismtas spirit this Holiday Season! Thanks for the visit and have a great week!
You got a great little helper there. Love what you did to up-cycle those reflectors, they turned out gorgeous!
Thanks for the peek and sharing, have a great WOYWW

Ooh Jan, love your forsighted-ness - the reflectors look gorgeous! As for that pussy cat, no respect!!
I love the effect you have created with the ink and what you have done with the glass blobs
What an inspired project, love what you did with the little tins and the kitty well that's just too cute for words! Happy WOYWW ~#105 Robin Panzer Art
Ooooo, your reflectors are gorgeous! Don't you just love alcohol inks?
I'm sure the kitty felt the basket was HIS and the hydrangeas were just in the way, lol.
Happy Woyww, Sandy #123
Oooh I love what you're doing with the glass nuggets and light reflectors! They are so beautiful! And kitties... they DO love to help, don't they! Most of the time I think it's because they like getting photographed, though! It's a good thing they don't charge us commission! Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #84
Yes, Poodie is an Oregon kitty. Yes, Stephanies class is online. $40 for 1 week of lots and lots of videos. I took from her at some lady's house a few years back...then I took a big online class with her, then her books, I guess you'd say I'm a big fan.lol
Oh, I forgot to tell you I love what you did with those. A little color is fabulous
Aaaaw, Mister Al looks so cute in his hydrangea basket... would make a great card pic...
Love your tin projects with the clear pebbles, they look lovely!!
Love those little pictures on the glass nuggets! Happy WOYWWing! Lisa Sparkle :)
Cats! They always want to sit exactly there where you don't really want them (but that's kinda why I like them too, they just don't care about anybody's opinion). Love your christmas stuff. Very pretty.
now I have a 6 mth old rottwieller pup, who thinks hes little, but he does live with a great Dane , he does love trying to climb into my storage tubs, so I did have a good laugh at your puss! lol lovley designs and paperweights hun, and the light reflectors look fab
happy Woyww

Not only is the kitty being helpful, but he has found a new place to sleep! My cat loves finding new places to sleep. The best places to sleep are on top of important things the humans need, like purses and keys!
Wow! I love what you did (are doing) with these reflectors!!! How clever and beautiful!!!
These are awesome! You are very creative.
Happy WOYWW
I agree, cats always want to be in the middle of the busiest are. Ours always used to rush to sit on my lap when I had a complex bit of knitting to be done. Those light reflectors look absolutely great.
Cute Kitty, my grands kept wanting to see.... Love the old reflectors too~
You do havew some wonderful creativity joing on here! And the cat is adorable! Happy (late) WOYWWED!

What is it with cats and little bags, boxes and baskets ... they just love to curl up the oddest of places and yours looks so cute among the hydrangeas :) Your light projectors are fab. Hope you've had a good WOYWW. Elizabeth x #42

wow, Jan! These are darling. I was thinking summer flowers, but I like your Christmas ornaments, too! Happy belated WOYWW from number 5.
Well what foresight you had over those tin reflectors, they look marvellous. Fancy you getting ready for a Christmas sale already...instils a mild sense of panic in my procrastinating bones!
